>The quantity is 0.3333
So why did you use the "...". Are you sure that is the quantity you want to use now?

>go to any calculator right now, divide 1 with 3 and you get this very wrong answer
Interesting. It too gives me the "...", signifying that it cannot even determine the answer. So who are you to say that it is "the wrong answer"? It doesn't even give me the entire answer in the first place.

>I asked you to prove that 1/3 = 0.3333,
No you asked me to prove "1/3=0.333...", there's a difference. Even so, you still have asked me to once again to equate an undefined to a number, which I cannot do (for I cannot determine what 1/3 actually is quantitatively).

>you clearly posted a very disagreeing response
Disagree? No, I am kindly asking you to please finish the question.

>avoiding the question
The only one avoiding the question is you. You're avoiding finishing asking the question you want answered. So please tell me what this "..." represents, or please give me an actual quantity to apply math to.

>because you know fuck all about mathematics
You're the only one asking me to equate two undefineds using math when I'm trying to explain to you that both are simply expressions that don't represent an actual quantity.

Isn't the first example nor the last that suggests it. In fact most of his paradoxes can be related to what Parmenides believed as he was his student at one point.

Energy and momentum alter the geometry of spacetime in a manner specified by the Einstein Field Equations.

A "field" has no quantity. Also:

>light has a speed

No.

>(which you can think of as a kind of distance formula for spacetime, a la Pythagorean Theorem)

Oops.

>my /sci/ criteria would be that they must know the pythagoras theorem. I think that would filter out a lot of the braindead population, while still having a populous, capable and diverse (in skills) humans.

what did the gods mean by this

>So I got to thinking, what is "flat". What defines it, and how do we measure it? Can I make a flat surface? What came first? Flat tools or flat surfaces?

Here's your answer now get the fuck out.

Hard light. The frequency of EM becomes so great and dense that it tangles upon itself. Depending on how tangled it gets, it will take more EM to "vibrate it" back into coherency.

>vibrations of spacetime
So "spacetime" is a medium now? How does "space" vibrate? I thought it was a hard vacuum, just full of little bits of hydrogen? How does "time" vibrate? Did you mean frequency of something else doing something? Yeah that's not "time".

We actually theorized it like 2500 years ago, but called it "atomism" instead. Then Incommensurability came along and destroyed that shit. For some reason though it came back and even the term "atom" was coined after we "discovered" these so called "indivisible particles".
